Hustle sums them up. We don't have any hustlers in the Parlour, Flamini, Vieira mould. We've also seen how energetic Barca are when they close down the ball. We lack that. Song does a job but he lacks that mobility and energy press aggressively. Our 07/08 midfield was on the right track imo.

F**k- theres a midfield!
Real men, eh.
Hernandez is unbelievably lethal. I didn't watch the game but if he's managed to persuade Ferguson to play two up top in the CL after all these years it says it all.
I think it's the Quieroz effect wearing off, Fergie has always been a 4-4-2 man.
It's not the old 4-4-2. It's more or less the same as the formation we play except Hernandez doesn't come deep like VanPersie.
And Rooney doesn't playmake from deep like Cesc does.
Actually, nowadays Cesc doesn't either.
Sure, he provides some brilliant long passes when he drops down to collect the ball, but most of the time he operates higher up the pitch than Song and Jack.
Madrid looking well rested before they smack the shit out of Tottenham tonight ( 😆 ). They stayed at the landmark last time they were here (when they got whooped by the mighty arsenal), guess they were looking for more luck this time.[/quote]
lol gomes
Gomes - idiotic mess up. Ronaldo scores.
5 - 0 😆
Yes!!!!! We want six!We want six!
would love kaka at arsenal
We'd have to spend our whole summer transfer budget on him though.
Listening to the commentators, you'd think Spurs put up a great fight and were only thwarted in the end...

That's the differnece between them and us, they can lose 5-0 and it will still be considered a great effort. We can lose 1-0 and it's still considered a disaster.
the amount of penalties spurs have gone looking for is disgusting
Seems like they've been playing this match for about four hours. Spurs really are the pits.
true y - such a long game
🙂 I'd almost be tempted to score an own goal if I were a Madrid player right now, just to liven things up.
